Is it mandatory to use the google_product_category attribute?

It is optional, but highly recommended. Providing it ensures Google categorizes your products correctly instead of relying on automated processes that may be inaccurate.

Can I use the product_type attribute instead of the Google category?

No. The product_type attribute is for your internal use only and does not influence how Google classifies your products for its taxonomy requirements.

Should I use the ID or the full path for the category?

Both are acceptable. The numeric ID 6351 is often preferred as it is language-independent and less prone to typographical errors during feed management.
